Basic Bible Facts 第 五课:[信心]Lesson Five: Faith 作者 : 谢德华人 By Edward Short (Rev. Jan, 2004)一。《圣经》对信心的观念: 1。信心是什么? What is faith?1)希伯来书11:1:信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。Heb. 11:1 新译本:信就是对所盼望的事的把握,是还没有看见的事的明证。 普通话译本:信仰意味着确信我们所期待的事情,肯定我们所看不见的事情 2)哥林多后书5:7:因我们行事为人是凭着信心,不是凭着眼见。 2 Cor. 5:72。我们如何得到信心? How do we get faith?1)罗马书10:17:可见信道是从听道来的,听道是从基督的话来的。 Rom. 10:172)约翰福音20:31:但记这些事,要叫你们信耶稣是基督,是神的儿子,并且叫你们信了他,就可以因他的名得生命。 John 20:313)约翰福音6:45:在先知书上写着说:‘他们都要蒙神的教训’。凡听见父之教训又学习的,就到我这里来。 John 6:454)约翰福音17:20:我不但为这些人祈求,也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求...。 John 17:205) 帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:14:因此,上帝借着我们所传的福音呼召你们,使你们得着我们主耶稣基督的荣耀。(新译本)2 Thess. 2:146) 雅各书1:18:他按自己的旨意,用真道生了我们... James 1:18a7) 彼得前书 1:22-23:你们既因顺从真理,洁净了自己的心,以致爱弟兄没有虚假,就当从心里彼此切实相爱 。你们蒙了重生,不是由于能坏的种子,乃是由于不能坏的种子,是借着神活泼常存的道。1 Peter 1:22-238)哥林多前书1:21:神就乐意用人所当作愚拙的道理拯救那些信的人... 1 Cor 1:219)使徒行传 18:8:管会堂的基利司布和全家都信了主,还有许多哥林多人听了,就相信受洗。 Acts 18:810)由此经文可见,依靠主耶稣得救的信心是从聆听福音或读《圣经》而来的;只有神的话才可以产生使人得救的信心。 From these Scriptures we know that saving faith comes from hearing the gospel or reading the Bible. Only the word of God produces saving faith.3。信心的重要 The importance of faith1)在《圣经》里叙述神对人之间最重要的字之一就是“爱”;描写人与神的关系最重要词就 是“信心”。 An important word in the Bible describing God’s relationship toward man is "love"; the most important description of man’s relationship toward God is "faith."2)人靠着信心才知道有神(希伯来书11:6)。 A person believes in God through faith (Heb. 11:6). 人接着信心蒙神的恩典和救赎(使徒行传 16:31;加拉太书2:16)。 One receives God’s grace and salvation through faith (Acts 16:31; Gal. 2:16).人信赖神的恩慈才会悔改(罗马书 2:4)。Faith in God’s grace produces repentance (Rom. 2:4).人信任神和神的话才会受浸(歌罗西书 2:12)。A person is baptized because of faith in God and his word (Col. 2:12).人相信神的应许才使基督徒过圣洁公义的生活(加拉太书 2:20;以弗所书6:16)。 Faith in God’s promises causes Christians to live holy and righteous lives (Gal. 2:20; Eph. 6:16).信心会增长;基督徒有责任培养他的信心,让信心有长进(帖撒罗尼迦后书 1:3;彼得后书1:5-10)。 Faith can grow; a Christian has responsibility to develop his faith so it will grow (2 Thes. 1:3; 2 Peter 1:5-10).4。福音和信心 The gospel and faith (经文在上)(see Scriptures above)1)帖撒罗尼迦后书2:14:神用福音呼召人们;神接着福音呼召人们 2 Thess. 2:14: God calls people through the gospel 2)雅各书1:18;彼得前书1:22-23:神用真道生出基督徒来 James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:22-23: God uses the gospel to give birth to Christians 二。信心的例子:好与坏 Examples of faith: Good and Bad1。魔鬼 (Demons):“...鬼魔也信[神只有一位],却是战惊”(雅各书2:19)(Jas. 2:19) 您的信心如何与他们的比较? How does your faith compare to the demons?2。摩西 (Moses):摩西因着信,宁可放弃埃及宫中的享乐,而与神的百姓同受苦难(希伯来书11:23-27)。 (Heb. 11:23-27) 假如你是摩西的话,你会怎么做? If you had been Moses, reared in Pharaoh’s palace, what would you have done?3。摩西 (Moses):摩西向磐石时,因违背了神的吩咐,而破坏了他对神的信心(民数记20:2-13; 申命记32:48-52)。(Num. 20:2-13; Deut. 32:48-52) 您的信心也曾软弱过使得您跌倒吗?Has your faith ever been weak so that you fell?4。约拿 (Jonah):神告诉约拿往尼尼微去传道。约拿虽然信神,但却怕神过于爱神。于是,约拿想躲避耶和华的面,以逃脱此重任。 (参看约拿书)(See the whole book of Jonah.) 你曾试着躲避神吗 Have you ever tried to run away from God?5。扫罗王 (King Saul):神命令扫罗要完全毁灭亚玛力城(撒母耳记上15:1-3)。扫罗,因为缺乏信心,以至于违背了神,保留亚玛力王的姓名,且虏回各种牲畜要献给神(撒母耳记上15:4-21)。因为扫罗的不信,神就除去他的王位(撒母耳记上15:22-31)。背逆神往往就是没有信心的表现。(缺乏完全顺服的心也是。)您是否时时刻刻全心顺服神? (1 Sam. 15:1-31.) Saul disobeyed God and God removed his position. Disobedience to God always is an expression of lack of faith, as is a heart that does not fully obey him. Do you always obey God with all your heart?6。雅各书中的一位基督徒 (A Christian in the book of James):雅各书2:14-26 所记载的这个人恐怕是一位基督徒,但却 没有基督徒行为该有的的表现,也没有基督徒生活的样式。因此,雅各说这个人的信心是死的。他与魔鬼有什么两样(26)?请问, 您和我的信心有多活泼呢?(Jas. 2:14-26) I assume this is a Christian but he lacks the actions that a Christian should exhibit. Consequently, James says his faith is dead. What difference is there between him and the demons? How active is our faith?7。亚伯拉罕 (Abraham):《圣经》常举亚伯拉罕为信心的例子(罗马书4章;加拉太书3章;希伯来书11:8-12, 17-19;雅各书2:21-24)。《圣经》简明地说,亚伯拉罕信神,神就以次为他的义(创世纪15:6)。信心在此包括信任,服从和忠心。您像亚伯拉罕有几分? The Bible often exhibits Abraham as an example of faith (Rom. 4; Gal.3; Heb. 11:8-12, 17-19; Jas. 2:21-24). Abraham believed God and God credited it to him as righteousness (Gen. 15:6). Here, faith includes reliance, obedience and loyalty. How much do you look like Abraham?8。彼得 (Peter): 从新约《圣经》中,我们可以看出彼得信心的发展(马太福音4:18-22),成长(马太福音10:16)摇动(马太福音26:69-75)和最后的极度坚强(使徒行传2章)。彼得这句话:“我们所看见,所听见的,不能不说”(使徒行传4:20)表明了一种,坚深的信任和不摇动的信心。此句话应该成为每一位基督徒的座右铭。(之后彼得又软弱下来了;参看加拉太书2:11-14)。We see the Peter’s faith progress (Matt. 4:18-22), grow (Matt. 10:16), waver (Matt. 26:69-75) and become strong again (Acts 2). Peter’s words in Acts 4:20 should be the motto of all Christians. (Peter’s faith waivered again; see Gal. 2:11-14.)9。耶稣 (Jesus):耶稣的信心是完全的,他一直将自己完全的摆在神的手中。请注意他的两个典范:一:当他离开天上降世时。(腓利比书2:6-8)。二:当他面对死亡时(马太福音26:39-42)。生命快结束时,耶稣祷告神,说:"我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我;然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。" 耶稣又祷告说:"我父啊,这杯若不能离开我,必要我喝,就愿你的意旨成全。" 我们是否能说:“愿您的意思成全”?Jesus’ faith was complete. He always put himself totally into the hands of God. He was our model when he (1) left heaven (Phil. 2:6-8) and (2) faced death (Matt. 26:39-42). Can we say, "May your will be done"?三.问题 /讨论 Questions/Discussion1)什么是信心?What is faith? 2)信心从何而来?(人们如何得到信心?)Where does faith come from? (How does a person obtain faith?) 3)除了以上所提到的例子以外请指出《圣经》里面其他有或没有信心的人。Besides the examples discussed above, give some other Bible examples of faith or lack of faith. 4)您对神的信心,如何影响您的生活?How does your faith in God affect your life?
